How it works

  1. Step 1

    Verify your profile

    Start with a free Verified listing: corporate email proof (Tier 1), then domain verification (Tier 2) for the badge, logo, backlink, and full profile admin.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a package

    Pick Lead Gen, Featured Placement, Ultimate Visibility, or the Maximum Opportunity bundle — subscribe monthly after your claim is active.

  3. Step 3

    Appear in labeled inventory

    Paid placements show in designated Sponsored regions only. Organic search order and fit scores stay independent of ad spend.

Placement types

Why providers choose cro.directory

Sponsorship policy

cro.directory offers clearly labeled sponsorship placements for organizations that want additional visibility with biotech and pharma buyers. Sponsored inventory is finite, disclosed in HTML and structured data, and never blended into organic fit-based rankings.

Organic directory rankings remain fit-score-based. Sponsorship affects placement in designated inventory only; it does not change search order or review visibility. RFQ matching priority changes only for the explicit Lead Gen package.

Sponsored inventory is always marked “Sponsored” in HTML and structured data. Organic shortlists and fit scores never include paid placement.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to claim before subscribing?
Yes. Paid packages are tied to your company profile. Verify your work email and complete claim verification, then return to checkout.
Will paying improve my search ranking?
No. Organic fit scores and directory search order are never pay-to-win. See How rankings work for the full methodology.
What is free vs paid?
Verified is included with Tier-2 domain verification (DNS TXT and/or HTML tag). Paid tiers add RFQ priority, featured cards, or side-rail sponsorship slots.
Can I buy packages separately or as a bundle?
Yes. Subscribe to Lead Gen, Featured Placement, or Ultimate Visibility à la carte, or choose Maximum Opportunity for all three at 20% off.
What is the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 verification?
Tier 1 (email) unlocks logo and backlink. Tier 2 (domain control) unlocks full profile admin, review responses, the Verified badge, and eligibility to subscribe to paid packages.
